I agree entirely. I also don't think "Oh Daddy" was written about Mick, no matter how many times Mick says it was, and no matter how many times Christine has recently said "it probably was."

You should call Christine and tell her what it's about!

Ha! Touche, dear.

Seriously, come on. It's a straight up love song about a woman in search of "daddy." The whole Mick thing is a stretch.

Mick is just a delusional drama queen. I don't think ANYONE ever thought Oh Daddy was about him. Just his dumb ass trying to focus things on himself.

What are you guys smoking? Christine herself on the 20th anniversary Rumours show told everyone that Oh Daddy was about Mick. Like most other songs of course there are other meanings behind verses or words. But according to the song writer, Mick was the inspiration. Maybe he was just the inspiration for the title. However you cant discount what the song writer says.
Its like the song Sara. Stevie says its about Mick. No, not really. We know what the inspiration really was for Sara. But the great dark wing part was about Mick. Edge of 17 has 3 inspirations merged together.....the death of John Lennon, the death of Stevie's grandfather, and that bird in Arizona.
Of course Oh Daddy has a romantic feel that probably is not about Mick but I must trust Chris because I don't think she would say something that is not true.

I think she was just humoring Mick, supporting his delusion of the song being about him.

Homer's right: she was just supporting his delusion, I think. Also, I tend to be weary of the "new" interpretations the band members offer for their very old songs. I remember Stevie saying, "Landslide is about Hurricane Katrina--I realize that now."

Haha! Just when I thought I could never think less of her! She's nuttier than a Christmas fruitcake!

You leave her alone. She can blanket her songs on anything she wants. They're her songs and she can do whatever she wants with her babies (that someone else wrote for her). You're just jealous because you don't look good in Stevie drag.

She's batsh*t crazy. And I'm too tall to pull off being Stevie.
